A Science Fiction story by H. Beam Piper about what truly makes a creature sapient.Jack Holloway, an elderly, individualistic sunstone miner, lives a solitary life in a wilderness area of planet Zarathustra. The planet is basically "owned" by the Chartered Zarathustra Corporation (under Victor Grego), which installed basic services and colonial outposts initially, and now reaps the benefits of new discoveries, such as the valuable sunstones.One day, Holloway returns to his cabin to discover a tiny humanoid, covered in golden fur. The creature has armed itself with a chisel from his workbench, but is peaceful and mostly unafraid. The miner gives the little fuzzy some Extee-Three, a kind of canned emergency ration cake, and the fuzzy devours it greedily. It is soon apparent that the creature is highly intelligent, and he soon brings his family band to join "Pappy Jack" at the shack.Victor Grego soon tries to intervene, claiming that the Fuzzies are just animals, not sapients. If ruled sapient, the entire planet would be declared a protected aboriginal zone, and the Chartered Zarathustra Company would lose its exclusive rights to the resources there. Leonard Kellogg, one of Grego's staff, kills a fuzzy and this leads to a court case which hinges on whether the fuzzies are animals or sapients.After much discussion of what it means to be "sapient" (speech and fire use being one definition), the matter goes to court. In the midst of the proceedings, the Terran Navy commander reveals that his people have been studying Fuzzies, and that they can indeed speak. The tiny people use ultrasonic frequencies, which to human ears sound like "yeek." When processed with the proper electronics, the sounds are rendered as a complex language. The Navy experiments prove that Fuzzies have at least the mental capacity of a ten-year-old human, and are therefore protected under Terran law. Judge Pendarvis declares them to be aborigines, and the Charter of the Zarathustra Company is immediately invalidated.Enjoy it courtesy of Project Gutenberg.Piper wrote two sequels, Fuzzy Sapiens and Fuzzies and Other People; the latter was thought lost after Piper's suicide, but a manuscript eventually turned up in his papers. Prior to this discovery, two sequels to the first two books were written by other authors (Fuzzy Bones by William Tuning and Golden Dream: A Fuzzy Odyssey by Ardath Mayhar). It is also the subject of a Continuity Reboot by John Scalzi (licensed by the H. Beam Piper estate), called Fuzzy Nation.A new sequel Fuzzy Ergo Sum written by Wolfgang Diehr was published in 2011.

Future Society, Present Values | |
| Little Fuzzy / int_280973fd | comment |
Future Society, Present Values: Downplayed. Everybody Smokes centuries in the future (the book was released prior to widespread knowledge of smoking being harmful) along with drinking. It's portrayed as mildly charming how the fuzzies (another sapient species) are introduced to smoking pipes by Jack. Granted, centuries on from now medicine might have advanced enough to make smoking no longer dangerous. Only one main character is a woman. Nearly all people in top positions are men. Even she echoes the then-current custom of thinking about herself as the future Mrs. Husband's Name after they're engaged. In fairness though she's also a psychologist and navy officer whose credentials never have the slightest question about them, nor is she treated any differently than men otherwise. | |

Unconventional Courtroom Tactics | |
| Little Fuzzy / int_302fd82f | comment |
Unconventional Courtroom Tactics: During the murder trial of Jack Holloway and Leonard Kellogg, the unconventional methods show up even before the trial begins, with the two murder cases being combined into a single trial, the appointment of the defense attorneys as special prosecutors, and key witnesses being seized as "evidence." It goes on to mutate from a civilian trial into a court-martial and an academic seminar, with two flavors of surprise witnesses, and the continued prosecution of a dead man after one of the defendants commits suicide. And there are in-universe precedents for most of this: "You could find a precedent for almost anything in colonial law." | |

| Little Fuzzy / int_375b6a06 | comment |
That Was Objectionable: The objections start before the trial begins. Gus Brannhard (Jack Holloway's lawyer) objects to Leonard Kellogg being tried first and Leslie Coombes (Kellogg's lawyer) has the same objection to Holloway being tried first. Chief Justice Pendarvis resolves both objections by ordering the two trials combined, and swearing in each defense lawyer as a special prosecutor against the other's client. | |

Intentional Mess Making: Jack Holloway sees the office that his Fuzzies made a mess of after escaping from their cages in the Chartered Zarathustra Company building. Seeing the dumped wastebasket is final confirmation that the escape was real: Holloway had taught Little Fuzzy that it was not nice to dump wastebaskets and leave them dumped. | |

Hats Off to the Dead: After the brutal killing of a Fuzzy by a human, the other Fuzzies immediately stage a ceremonious funeral for her. As the Fuzzies bury their dead, Colonial Constabulary Lieutenant George Lunt spontaneously takes off his beret and holds it in his hands while bowing his head, then immediately moves to arrest the killer for the murder of a sapient being. | |

Cannot Tell a Lie | |
| Little Fuzzy / int_7c7ee100 | comment |
Cannot Tell a Lie: Fuzzies just don't get the concept of saying things that aren't true, which leads to a major legal problem in Fuzzies and Other People: it has to be proven that the veridicator works on Fuzzies before they can testify in court, and the veridicator can't be tested without a false statement to detect. It's resolved when they encounter a Fuzzy with ulterior motives who resorted to a lie in desperation. | |

What Measure Is a Non-Human? | |
| Little Fuzzy / int_9c45b5a2 | comment |
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: The point of the whole book. On Zarathustra, a planet humans have colonized, it's discovered there's a small native species dubbed Fuzzies. Many quickly conclude they're sapients as a result of the high intelligence they show. The MegaCorp which owns the planet however wants to show otherwise, as if they're sapients it will leave the charter which they have from the government voided. One Fuzzy is killed, with the human killer tried on a murder charge, and the issue later being decided in court. It's ruled, because of the evidence, that they are indeed sapient beings, voiding the charter and protecting them by law. The killer also concludes that they are sapient, which means he's a murderer, and kills himself out of guilt. There is even a specific rule for determining sapience, although it's imperfect, with many scientists also weighing in. | |

Sapient Fur Trade | |
| Little Fuzzy / int_b8b59400 | comment |
Sapient Fur Trade: Victor Grego considers a plan to offer a high price for Fuzzy pelts, in order to wipe them out before they can be legally recognized as sapient, although at that point he has arguably convinced himself they aren't sapient and has never actually met a Fuzzy. (Jack Holloway also thinks that wanting to sell fuzzy furs is Leonard Kellogg's motivation for wanting to find them non-sapient, before realizing the true implications Fuzzy sapience would have for the Chartered Zarathustra Company's charter.) | |

Fantastic Diet Requirement | |
| Little Fuzzy / int_c0978519 | comment |
Fantastic Diet Requirement: The Fuzzies are slowly dying out when the humans first make contact with them, as their physiology demands nutrients with a specific chemical signature that's unavailable where they are living. This turns out to be proof that (in the sequels written by other authors, which now form an alternative continuity) they aren't native to Zarathustra. Luckily, the humans brought a processed food to their world that contains the needed substance, and the fuzzies quickly become addicted to "esteefee". | |

| Little Fuzzy / int_e8b49369 | comment |
Lie Detector: The veridicator is an infallible one, and consequently a vital part of the legal system. It works so well, that it even detects a lie that the speaker himself has forgotten that he lied about. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Little Fuzzy / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: Many groups of Fuzzies "adopted" by humans promptly get tagged with these. A naturalist names two "Flora" and "Fauna"; a psychologist names four more "Id", "Ego", "Complex", and "Syndrome"... | |
